Regarding downloading a file on application server

Hi experts,
I have a scenerio for downloading files on aplication server. The name of the file will be created in program itself. we have to give only the path on selection screen.
how can we validate the path enter on selection screen. But do remember the path should be like this C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\145546\DESKTOP
because it will be converted to C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\145546\DESKTOP\100001.pdf in program itself.
so when user enter C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\145546\DESKTOP on selection screen i want to validate wheather that path exists or not.
please help me out.Its urgent.
Thanks
Azad.

Hi all,
I am facing a format issue while downloading text file from application server to the client machine.
The issue is that, say I have 6 to 10 lines in my text file in application server. but when i store it on the hard drive,
it shoes all the data in a single line. Where as i need to download data in same format as in application server.
Awaiting for your responses.

Hi,
If we want to upload file data from the application server to the internal table, there is no function module or class static method which we can use, we must wirte the code by ourselves.
1. For the file data which has no seperator between field columns.
PARAMETERS p_file TYPE dxfile-filename.
START-OF-SELECTION.
OPEN DATASET p_file IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT.
DO.
    READ DATASET p_file INTO gds_data.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    APPEND gds_data TO gdt_data.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.2. For the file data which has tab separator between field columns.
DATA: gds_field_split type gts_data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> TYPE gts_data.
PARAMETERS p_file TYPE dxfile-filename.
START-OF-SELECTION.
OPEN DATASET prf_file IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT.
DO.
    READ DATASET p_file INTO gds_field.
    SPLIT gds_field AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
         INTO TABLE gdt_field_split.
   LOOP AT gdt_field_split into gds_field_split.
       gdf_index = gdf_index + 1.
       ASSIGN COMPONENT gdf_index OF STRUCTURE
             gds_data to <fs_field>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
          <fs_field> = gds_field_split.

endfunction.
Now you will be able to get the filesize and the file in SDOK format sdokbin.
Okay.
You have to build an request and push the content to the user like:
call method server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Type' value = value ).
describe field file_content_binary-line length line_length in byte mode.
bytes_rest = file-size.
loop at file_content_binaries assigning <file_content_binary>.
    move <file_content_binary>-line to data.
    if bytes_rest <= 0. "mismatch between line values and size
      exit.
    endif.
    if bytes_rest >= line_length.
      call method server->response->append_data( data = data
        length = line_length ).
    else.
      call method server->response->append_data( data = data
        length = bytes_rest ).
    endif.
    bytes_rest = bytes_rest - line_length.
endloop.
This will work.
You can set the header fields like you want. Have also a look at sicf node contentserver
and its handler: CL_HTTP_EXT_CSIF

Regarding uploading the file from Application Server

I am trying to upload a .csv file to Application Server through CG3Z tcode.
But i am getting dump ad below..
What happened?
    While a text was being converted from code page '4102' to '1100', one
    the following occurred:
    - an character was discovered that could not be represented in one of
    the two code pages;
    - the system established that this conversion is not supported.
    The running ABAP program, 'SAPLC13Z' had to be terminated, since the
    conversion could cause incorrect data to be generated.
    1 characters could not be represented (and thus could not converted).
    If 1 = 0, a second or a different error has occurred.
Please let me know..how can i resolve this??
Thanks
Priyanka

Check if your CSV file is UNICODE encoding.
If CG3Z steel not works you can check on OSS SUPPORT if a note solve your problem.

Issue in downloading the file to application server (background)

i am downloading the PIR records to the application server.
the program is running fine .
i m using background coz i m downloading large no of records (>5000)
my actually target is 28000 records. we are spliting it up into atleast 7000 records at a time.
for 1000 records , it is taking     217 secs        (this is fine)
for 2000 records , it is taking    1647 secs        (not satisfactory)
for 5130 records , it is crossed more than 10647 secs   still running (not acceptabe)
why is it increasing in expotenial of time for increase in the records
why not ~1000 sec for 5130 records...??
somebody help me , the hav check the extended check and fine tuned the code.
it is a modification of standard program RM06IBIE for download of PIR records.
regards
venkat.

Hi,
It is definitely because of the poor performace in the code only.
Try using, FOR ALL ENTRIES, SORT BY key fields, DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES from the internal table COMPARING key fields, etc.
If you have already used all the possible ones, then check the table from which it is picking the data.
Whether they are using the primary key fields in the where condition, if they are using some other fields, then go for an option of secondary index if required.

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to download the file from Application Server to local work station using an ABAP Program .
I want including the above ABAP program in a process chain to execute the program daily,
I tried to use ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT and GUI_DOWNLOAD but unfortunately both the above FM doesn't support to run through Process chain.
Can any one of you help me to send the code which selects a file from application server, downloads to local system and deletes it.
Thank you very much for spending your precious time in this regard.

Hi Sailekha,

Japanese character problem while downloading file to application server

Hello All,
We are facing a strange problem while downloading a file to application server when file contains japanese text.
We are downloading vendor and customer information in a flat file format on application server. When the login language is EN program show ouput in a properly formatted manner.
When the login language is JA (japanese) program does download file with customer vendor data. I can see the description is japanese language but the formatting is gone for a toss.
We are facing similar issue with other programs downloading files on the application server.
I am using OPEN DATASET........ENCODING DEFAULT. and working on unicode enabaled ECC 6.0 system
Quick help appriciated.
Thanks!

Hi
Sometimes this also happens because of your desktop setting.Make sure that your OS also supports the JAPANESSE language.
Ask your technical support team to enable them in your desktop.
Thanks & Regards

Downloading file to application server

Hi,
I have requirement of downlaoding some (.doc,.xls,.txt,.ppt) files into application server from sap r/3,the file will be picked by some other 3rd party application.
I was able to achieve it using OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER,but the data gets encrytped and the actual file is not copied to application server.(example if its .doc file the same file data should be copied to app server and not the encrypted file data like 5%%#.......6234726&&%212).
The encrypted file again displays like exact file as its uploaded when downloaded from app server.
But the file in app server is encrypted,my requirement is to copy the exact file to app server.
This encryption is happening when is OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER,even the FM ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER is also using OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER only.
Please suggest me any other way to move file to app server other than OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER.
Thanks,
Phani.

Hi,
If you are downloading the file from application server, you have to use OPEN DATASET CLOSE DATASET.

And this is split by tab delimited and moved to other variables as shown above.
Please guide me how to read the contents without "#' from the file.
I have tried all possible ways and unable to get solution.
Thanks,
Shrikanth

Hi ,
In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further # appears..
and no # appears then try to split now.
if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
and then again try to replace it and then split..
Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
This should work for you..
Let me know if you further face any issue...
